I wonder if Chips ever gets tired of telling people that putting the topic line in capitals is a very bad idea

"A good pun is its own reword"

WHY POST A LOAD OF PAP TRY SAYING SOMETHING USEFUL

All capitals in topic headers is not a good idea. Furthermore, or capitals in posts implies shouting.

I don't like to be shouted at..........

Nor does anyone else..................

So, forgive me if after reading your rude, self centered (by putting caps everywhere you are implying a note of urgency about this, but personally - i aint going to die if it doesn't work for you......so no urgency here) post, but i have come to the conclusion that i have no wish to help you....

So - this leaves you one thing. How about helping yourself!!!!

Can you play the mod? I mean have you tried to load it up? (I don't care if datastorm can't find it, maybe your a numb nutts and have Freelancer Mod Manager NOT pointing towards the right game directory (options>choose a different freelancer directory).

Then read the stickied thread at the top of the forum - or maybe my thread telling poeple to read the sticky at the top of the forum! Try those options. then if you still have no luck, try contacting the people who CAN help you....which shock horror and incredulous looks..........logic would dictate would be the poeple who MADE THE DAM THING!!!

now no offense, but if the two suggestions i gave you (I am too nice) don't work, then i would suggest CONTACTING THE CREATOR!!! or, even MORE suprising, POST IN THEIR FORUMS FOR HELP ABOUT IT!!!!!!!

Woah - i know, i know, that is a far out whacky suggestion......where the unparalleld risks of being maimed might NOT be worth the attempt, but attempt it ye must, for it is thy desssssstiny.....


Now - as a last pointer, and for about the 3rd time in two days.........be nice in reply.......cause getting pissy at poeple who help will yield ANY further posts by yourself to go unanswered, apart from spam and poeple laughing at you!

have a nice day

Basically does the mod actually work or is it just with datastorm? If you cannot load the game up, then something is wrong. Does it use an installer? Cause i made one with an installer once (not a flmod file, but a exe file) and when people installed it, it made an extra folder in FLMM and therefore didn't work (cause it made a data folder IN the data folder when activated!!)

If the mod works fine, its just that datastorm doesn't, check you have latest datastorm. If you haven't you can check hellfires site. They have a link (101st Wolves) on the main page (bottom left).

If the mod doesn't work and just crashes, then check the thread at the top of this forum by bakedpotato. He and myself have posted the MOST common form of crashes for mods, and solutions on how to fix them. IF those don't fix your problem, then its time to get in contact with BLACKASSIMILATION, as he will help ya out.

There we go - there isn't much i can do for ya, mainly as from the sound of it datastorm aint picking the mod up.............did you activate the mod before activating datastorm, and did you check the folder it activates upon is correct?

Good luck

ALL CAPS in subject line is frowned on here. You'll notice we keep what some people consider a tight ship around here. It's because we want to do our best to not allow people in the family to try to stand (like typing ALL CAPS in the subject line) or breaking other forum rules. It's just a consideration we expect from new people and old people alike. We're all the same around here, not need to get up on a soapbox. Ask questions, they will be answered in due time like all the rest have been. Enjoy your stay around here. Abide by our very simply rules and you'll fit in fine around here.
